Khrome's Visit

"Hey, Saintess! How ya doing!" Khrome greeted Camille with a bright smile on his face the moment she entered the waiting room.

Camille rubbed her eyes and sighed, "What are you doing here, Khrome?"

"I'm here to see the pipsqueak." He went straight to the point. "I just returned to the city, and when I asked the Adventurers' Guild about him, I heard that he's been promoted to a C-Rank Adventurer. However, I also heard that he hasn't been active for over a month now, so I decided to check up on him."

"How considerate of you. Unfortunately, I don't know where he is right now." Camille quickly said.

"C'mon, Saintess! I know you know where he is! You're his sponsor, after all!"

"And he's being hunted, so he went into temporary hiding." Camille shook her head.

"What?" Khrome immediately frowned upon hearing this news. "He's hunted? By whom? And why?"
